“In a time of universal deceit, telling truth is a subversive act”

Image & quote is from the Danish legislator responding to Trump
"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”

Meaning: "Khaubayn" means debts, errors, or missed targets - not sins as guilt but as misalignment. Forgiveness is recalibration of energy flow. It operates as a law of resonance: what we release, releases us.

"Give us this day our daily bread"

Aramaic: "Havlan lachma d'sunganan yaomana"

Meaning: Not just physical food, but spiritual nourishment. "Lachma" means bread, understanding, wisdom, or vitality. It's a call to receive daily divine energy and life force - the "inner manna" that feeds the spirit.

Venezuela is the major test right now, the place where Rubio's longstanding interests are most in play and where the administration's just-war arguments are thinnest.

The right-wing U.S. administration continues to accommodate its ties to Moscow instead of providing Ukraine with everything needed to end the war.
This hesitation prolongs the conflict and undermines Western credibility.

“At a moment when income inequality, the looming threat of A.I. and the rise of authoritarianism seem to be straining American societal cohesion, a revolt against self-dealing elites may be the only cause compelling enough to bring us together.”

Spanky's speech

I turned him on for 4 minutes and all I saw & heard & felt was a pissed off old man screaming into a microphone demanding I eat a plate of food that's gone bad while he keeps hitting me over the head with a 2 by 4 and telling me this is the best l've ever had it in life.

What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Trump’s mind-set — the logic underpinning his priorities, his morality, his decision making — is like opening up a garbage pail left out for days during a summer heat wave.

The dominant theme is governing by narcissism: being persuaded with money, purchasing his crypto, & obsequious flattery.

Isn’t it ironic that if I said the same thing about Trump that he said about the Reiner family, next thing the FBI would be knocking at my door?

The recent CDC web post points out that autism rates have risen in recent decades and so has the number of infant vaccinations — an observation that might also be made about prestige TV shows and pumpkin-spice lattes. Beware!

George Will remarked on the allegation that the Trump official supervising our military had given a verbal order to kill any survivors of missile strikes against boats in the Caribbean: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.”
